Baku, September 18, AZERTAC

The largest event in the region dedicated to the defense industry, Azerbaijan International Defence Exhibition ADEX, celebrate its 5th anniversary in 2024.

The exhibition will take place on September 24-26 at the Baku Expo Center. Simultaneously, the 14th International Exhibition for Internal Security, Safety and Rescue Equipment Securex Caspian will also be held at the same venue.

The first ADEX exhibition was established in 2014. Although the biennial exhibition is celebrating its 5th anniversary this year, it has already been operating for 10 years, continuously expanding its participant list and the sectors it covers with each edition. Over the past decade, the exhibition has brought together numerous companies and nearly 200 official delegations representing more than 50 countries worldwide. More than 30,000 visitors have attended the event during these years.

Since the early years of the ADEX exhibition, the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, has visited the event and addressed greeting letters to its participants and guests. This is undoubtedly a testament to the high status of the exhibition and the trust it commands.

A series of events is planned to mark the 5th anniversary of the exhibition in 2024.

ADEX is a significant event in Azerbaijan and the region, focusing on the defense industry and security sectors. This large-scale event not only features one of the largest military equipment displays in the region but also demonstrates the strength and capabilities of Azerbaijan’s defense industry complex. The ADEX exhibition serves as an effective platform for showcasing advanced technologies, strengthening international cooperation, and fostering the development of the country's defense industry.

The exhibition is held on the initiative and with the organisational support of the Ministry of Defence Industry of the Republic of Azerbaijan and support of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The organizer of the exhibition is the Caspian Event Organisers, and its international partner, Caspian Event Management.

The gold sponsors of the ADEX exhibition are the companies Baykar and Israel Aerospace Industries, while the bronze sponsor is Barzan Holdings.

As part of the event, a special edition of the newspaper “ADEX News” will be published in honor of the exhibition’s 5th anniversary. The newspaper will feature news on innovations and up-to-date technologies presented by participating companies, as well as interviews with high-level guests, members of various delegations, and industry experts.
